If the objects are all at the same distance from the center
of the Earth, then the gravitational forces between the Earth
and each object only depend on the mass of each object. 
Those forces are least for the 5kg object, and greatest for
the 2,540kg object. 

The gravitational force that attracts each object toward the
center of the Earth is typically referred to as the object's "weight".

It's important to know that there's another force of gravity ... the one
that attracts the Earth toward the object.  And that one is equal to
the object's weight, but pulls in the opposite direction.

Your weight on the Earth is equal to the Earth's weight on you.

the object on the right gained mass so that it had as much mass as the object on the left, how would the gravitational force bet
kherson [118]

The gravitational force between the objects A. It would increase.

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by:

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m_1,m_2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

In this problem, we are told that one of the object (the one on the right) gains mass: this means that, for instance, the value of m_2 increases. We can see from the equation that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the masses: therefore, if one of the masses increases (while the distance between the two objects remains constant), it means that the force also increases.

Therefore, the correct answer is

A. It would increase.
